For  a  long  time  doubt  existed  and  still  exists  as  to  which  of  the 
early  Higginson  clergymen  is  represented  by  the  frontispiece  here 
given.  There  are  three  of  these  portraits  which  I  am  inclined  to  be- 
lieve to  be  of  Francis  and  not  of  his  son,  John. 

1.  One  of  these,  in  the  Boston  State  House,  is  pronounced  by  experts 
to  be  the  original,  though  having  an  unexplained  date  upon  it  which 
has  always  cast  doubt  over  the  identity  of  this  portrait. 

2.  There  is  another  at  the  Essex  Institute  in  Salem  which  was  given 
to  it  by  my  father  in  1835  and  was  regarded  in  his  day,  as  it  is  even 
now  by  many,  as  a  portrait  of  the  Rev.  John,  the  son  of  Francis. 

3.  There  is  yet  another  at  Worcester,  in  the  possession  of  the 
American  Antiquarian  Society  which  is  obviously  a  copy  of  that  in 
Boston,  yet  is  believed  in  Worcester  to  represent  Francis  Higginson, 
the   first  immigrant. 

The  best  authority  on  the  whole  subject  should  be  the  Rev.  Dr.  Wil- 
liam Bentley,  of  Salem,  Mass.,  the  most  esteemed  of  all  antiquarians 
in  his  day.  He,  it  was,  who  gave  this  third  copy  to  the  American  An- 
tiquarian Society  and  who  in  his  "Description  of  Salem"  (Massachu- 
setts Historical  Society's  Collections  for  1799,  p.  275)  says: — "There  is 
an  half-length  painting  of  Francis  Higginson  in  the  council  chamber, 
at  Boston,  in  the  old  state-house".  Farther  tradition  as  to  the  details 
relating  to  these  three  portraits  may  be  found  in  my  "Life  of  Francis 
Higginson",  pp.   131-133.

INTRODUCTION. 


On  Saturday,  the  25th  of  April,  1629,  two  ships  set  sail 
from  Gravesend  for  the  two  months'  voyage  to  America. 
One  of  these  was  the  "  Talbot,"  and  the  other  the  "  Lyon's 
Whelpe,"  and  on  the  former  of  the  two  was  Francis 
Higginson,  first  religious  "  teacher"  in  Salem,  and  first 
of  the  name  to  set  foot  on  New  England  soil.  Following 
is  the  "  agreement  "  or  "  true  note  of  the  allowance  that  the 
New  England  Company  gave  by  common  consent  and 
order  of  their  court  and  counsell  granted  unto  Mr.  Francis 
Higginson,  minister,  for  his  maintenance  in  New  Eng- 
land, April  8,  1629." 

"  1.  Imprimis,  that  30  I.  in  money  shall  be  forthwith

of  fitting  himself  with  apparell  and  other  necessaryes  for 
his  voyage.

England. 

"  5.  Item,  that  in  convenient  tyme  an  house  shall  be

shall  bee  for  his  use  ;  and  after  his  death  or  removall  the 
same  to  be  for  succeeding  ministers. 

"  6.  Item,  at  the  expiration  of  the  said  3  yeares  an  100

ever. 

"  7.  Item,  that  in  case  hee  shall  depart  this  life  in  that

He  was  also  promised  a  "  man  seruant  to  take  care  and 
look  to  his  things,  and  to  catch  him  fish  and  foule  and 
provide  other  things  needfull  and  also  two  maid  seruants 
to  look  to  his  family." 

Francis  Higginson  was  baptized  August  6,  1586,  at 
Claybrooke,  Leicestershire,  England.  He  was  the  son  of 
the  Rev.  John  Higginson,  who  was  a  graduate  of  Jesus  Col- 


INTRODUCTION.  vii 

lege,  Cambridge,  B.  A.  1564-5,  and  M.  A.  1568,  and  was 
afterwards  vicar  of  the  parish  of  Claybrooke  from  1571 
to  1624.  There  is  a  tradition  in  the  Marlow  (England) 
branch  of  the  family  that  he  lived  and  performed  his  du- 
ties as  a  clergyman  until  the  age  of  one  hundred  and  four, 
when  he  was  suddenly  drowned  by  the  rising  of  a  brook 
as  he  was  returning  from  church.  However  this  may  be, 
we  know  that  he  was  vicar  for  fifty-three  years. 

Of  the  still  earlier  progenitors  of  the  family,  little  is 
on  record.  We  know  that  one  Joane  Higginson,  who  may 
have  been  the  paternal  grandmother  of  Francis  Higgin- 
son, dying  a  widow  in  the  sixteenth  century,  bequeathed 
£1  a  year  to  the  poor  of  Berkeswell,  County  Warwick, 
England. 

Francis  Higginson  was,  like  his  father,  a  student  of 
Jesus  College,  Cambridge,  taking  his  B.  A.  degree  in  1609- 
10,  and  perhaps  that  of  M.  A.  in  1613.  It  is  said  that  he 
became  curate  and  assistant  to  his  father  at  Claybrooke. 
We  are  not  told  how  long  he  held  this  position,  but  it  is 
clear  that  he  became  more  and  more  dissatisfied  with  the 
Established  Church  as  it  then  was,  until  finally  he  became 
"  a  conscientious  non-conformist." 

In  the  beginning  of  the  year  1629,  a  large  number  of 
rich  merchants  obtained  a  charter  from  King  Charles  I,  by 
which  they  were  incorporated  under  the  title  of  "  The 
Governor  and  Company  of  the  Massachusetts-Bay  in  New 
England,"  and  their  purpose  was  to  send  over  ships  with 
"  godly  and  honest  men "  to  begin  a  plantation  there. 
Accordingly  Francis  Higginson  was  one  of  those  asked 
to  set  sail  with  his  family  for  the  New  World,  and  he  ar- 
rived in  Salem  Harbor  on  June  29, 1629.  With  him  came 
Samuel  Skelton,  another  minister,  who  was  to  divide  with 
him  the  duties  of  the  church  in  Salem. 


Vlll  INTRODUCTION. 

In  Francis  Higginson's  Journal  we  find  the  following  : 

"  This  day  [June  29,  1629]  by  God's  blessing  ...  we 
passed  the  curious  and  difficult  entrance  into  the  large 
and  spacious  harbour  of  Naimkecke  [Salem]  ...  It  is 
wonderful  to  behould  so  many  islands  replenished  with 
thicke  wood  and  high  trees,  and  many  fay  re  greene  pas- 
tures." "  We  rested  that  night  with  glad  and  thankful 
hearts,"  he  also  writes,  "  that  God  had  put  an  end  to  our 
long  and  tedious  journey  through  the  greatest  sea  in  the 
world."  "The  govemour  [Endicott]  came  aboard  to  our 
ship,"  he  adds,  "  and  bade  us  kindly  welcome,  and  invited 
me  and  my  wiffe  to  come  on  shoare,  and  take  our  lodging 
in  his  house,  which  we  did  accordingly." 

"  Our  passage  was  both  pleasureable  and  profitable," 
the  Journal  goes  on;  "a  pious  and  christian-like  passage," 
he  also  calls  it.  "  We  received  instruction  and  delight," 
he  continues,  "  in  behoulding  the  wonders  of  the  Lord  in 
the  deepe  waters,  and  sometimes  seeing  the  sea  round  us 
appearing  with  a  terrible  countenance,  and  as  it  were  full 
of  high  hills  and  deepe  vallyes ;  and  sometimes  it  ap- 
peared as  a  most  plain  and  even  meadow.  And  ever  and 
anon  we  saw  divers  kynds  of  fishes  sporting  in  the  great 
waters,  great  grampuses  and  huge  whales  going  bj7-  com- 
panies and  puffing  up  water-streames.  Those  that  love 
their  owne  chimney  corner,  and  dare  not  go  farre  beyond 
their  owne  townes  end  shall  neever  have  the  honour  to 
see  these  wonderfull  workes  of  Almighty  God." 

"  Through  God's  blessing,"  Francis  Higginson  remarks, 
"  our  passage  was  short  and  speedy,  for  ...  we  per- 
formed the  same  in  6  weeks  and  3  dayes." 

In  addition  to  the  length  of  the  voyage,  "  the  wind," 
says  the  Journal,  "  caused  our  ship  to  daunce,  and  divers 
of  our  passengers  and  my  wiffe  specially  were  sea  sicke." 
Also  two  of  his  eight  children  became  ill  "  of  the  small- 


INTRODUCTION.  IX 

pocks  and  purples  together,"  and  one  of  them,  Mary,  died 
during  the  voyage. 

In  spite  of  these  seeming  vicissitudes,  the  voyagers 
arrived  safely  at  their  objective  point,  Salem,  then  com- 
posed of  some  half  dozen  houses.  Two  hundred  of  the 
new  planters  settled  there,  and  the  rest  at  Massachusetts 
Bay,  where  they  began  to  build  a  town  which  they  called 
Charlestown. 

Francis  Higginson  lived  little  more  than  a  year  after 
his  arrival  in  Salem.  He  was  active  in  all  interests  con- 
nected with  the  people,  and  was  prominent  where  any 
important  decisions  or  reforms  were  to  be  acted  upon 
during  the  periods  of  terrible  privation  which  weakened 
the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony.  The  main  work  of 
preaching  fell  on  his  associate,  Samuel  Skelton ;  but  we 
hear  of  one  very  remarkable  sermon  preached  by  Hig- 
ginson a  few  weeks  before  his  death,  which  Governor  Win- 
throp  and  a  large  company  of  settlers  came  to  hear. 
The  people  first  worshipped  in  a  temporary  building  of 
one  story.  Near  the  site  of  this  there  is,  to-day,  a  narrow 
lane  called  Higginson  Place. 

In  August,  1630,  Francis  Higginson  died,  of  "  hectic 
fever,"  according  to  one  chronicler ;  of  consumption,  ac- 
cording to  another.  He  left  a  widow  and  eight  children, 
for  whom  the  colony  provided  until  Mrs.  Higginson 's 
death  in  1640.  The  eldest  son,  John,  was  the  most  prom- 
inent in  after  life.  The  other  children  died  comparatively 
young,  with  the  exception  of  Francis,  who  returned  to 
England  and  became  a  clergyman  in  Westmoreland.  From 
childhood  John  Higginson  took  a  prominent  part  in  the 
affairs  of  the  colony,  at  thirteen  becoming  a  member  of 
his  father's  church.  Later,  he  became  pastor  of  the  church 
at  Guilford,  Connecticut.  In  1659  he  was  setting  out  for 
London,  to  reside  there  with  his  family,  when  the  vessel 


X  INTRODUCTION. 

was  driven  by  bad  weather  into  Salem  harbor,  and  he  was 
persuaded  to  remain  there  and  take  charge  of  his  father's 
church,  founded  thirty  years  before.  He  was  ordained  in 
August,  1660,  doing  continuous  duty  there  until  his  death 
and  winning  for  himself  the  title  of  "  the  Nestor  of  the 
New  England  clergy." 

John  Higginson  died  at  the  age  of  ninet}^-two,  much 
revered  and  beloved  by  all  the  colony.  His  funeral  sermon 
was  preached  by  the  Rev.  Cotton  Mather,  and  published 
in  1709  under  the  title  of  "The  Happy  Dismissal  of  a 
Holy  Believer,  a  Funeral  Sermon  on  the  death  of  the 
Rev.  John  Higginson,  with  Memoirs  of  his  life."  Shortly 
before  his  death  John  Higginson  wrote  so  curious  and 
interesting  a  document  for  his  children's  further  instruc- 
tion that  a  part  of  it  is  here  given.

After  quoting  many  more  verses  from  the  Bible  for  the 
instruction  and  guidance  of  his  children,  John  Higginson 
ends  this  curious  old  document  as  follows  : —

DESCENDANTS  OF 

FRANCIS  HIGGINSON. 


FIRST    GENERATION. 

JjC  1  Rev.  Francis1  Higginson,  son  of  Rev.  John  Hig- 
ginson,  Vicar  of  Claybrooke,  Leicestershire,  England,  was 
baptized  Aug.  6,  1586,  at  Claybrooke ;  died  Aug.  6,  1630, 

at  Salem,  Mass.  ;  married  Ann  ,J  who  died  probably 

Feb.  — ,  1639-40,  at  New  Haven,  Conn. 

Francis  Higginson  was  educated  at  Jesus  College,  Cam- 
bridge, taking  his  degrees,  B.  A.,  1609  and  M.  A., 
1613.2  He  was  ordained  deacon  at  Cawood  Castle 
Sept.  25,  1614,  by  Toby  Mathew,  Archbishop  of  York 
when  he  was  called  curate  of  Scredingham.  He  was  or- 
dained priest  at  Bishopthorpe  Dec.  8,  1614,  by  the  same 
archbishop.  (Archiepiscopal  Registry  of  York ;  Institutions 
Sandes,  1572-1619,  fo.  431,  433).  Scredingham,  now 
called  Scrayingham,  is  in  the  East  Riding  of  Yorkshire, 
eleven  miles  from  York.  He  was  collated  (instituted) 
Apr.  20,  1615,  by  the  Archbishop  of  York,  the  patron,  to 
the  rectory  of  Barton-in-fabis  in  the  county  of  Nottingham 

'The  parish  register  of  St.  Peter's,  Nottingham,  contains  the  fol- 
lowing marriage  record:  "Franciscus  Higginson  duxit  uxore  Ana 
Herbert  Octavo  die  Januarij  1615."  (Phillamore's  Nottingham  Mar- 
riages.) 

2Life  of  Francis  Higginson  by  T.  W.  Higginson.  Arthur  Gray  in 
his  History  of  Jesus  College  (1902),  says:  "Francis  Higginson,  ad- 
mitted at  Jesus  in  1608,  but  B.  A.  of  St.  John's  in  1609."  A  per- 
sonal letter  from  Arthur  Gray  says  :  "  Of  Francis  Higginson  the 
only  record  is  in  the  Bursar's  Accounts  for  the  year  1608-9,  when  the 
Bursar  accounts  for  3/4  his  fee  for  admission  to  the  College  as  a 
pensioner."

and  deanery  of  Bingham,  which  he  resigned  Apr.  4,  1616. 
(Archiepiscopal  Registry  of  York  ;  Institutions  Sandes 
1572-1619,  fo.  437,  447;  N.  E.  Gen.  Reg.  Vol.  LII,  p.  348). 
Barton-in-fabis  is  six  miles  southwest  of  Nottingham,  near 
the  border  of  Leicestershire. 

It  is  stated  that  Francis  Higginson  was  for  a  time  set- 
tled at  Claybrooke  as  curate  and  assistant  to  his  father. 
It  appears  certain  that  he  was  connected  with  the  parish 
of  St.  Nicholas,  Leicester,  between  1617  and  1629,  styling 
himself  "  minister"  and  afterwards  "  lecturer."  (N.  E. 
Gen.  Reg.  Vol.  LII,  p.  348).  Under  date  of  May  17, 
1627,  in  an  account  given  in  the  State  Papers  of  the  do- 
ings of  the  Puritans  in  and  about  Leicester,  his  name  is 
prominently  mentioned.  (State  Papers  (Domestic  Series) 
of  Chas.  I,  Vol.  LXXXII1,  no.  13). 

Nichols,  in  his  History  of  Leicestershire,  records  the 
fact  that,  "  Mr.  Francis  Higginson,  a  Reverend  Divine  and 
sometime  Preacher  of  God's  word  att  the  parish  of  St. 
Nicholas  in  this  Borough  of  Leicester,  gave  divers  bookes 
for  and  towardes  the  better  furnishing  of  this  Library 
[the  town  library  of  Leicester]  ;  videlicet : 

"  Oecolampadius  in  omnes  Prophetas  et  Job. 
Strigelius  in  omnes  Psalmos. 
Sarcerius  in  Epistolas  Dominicales. 
Sarcerius  in  Evangelia  Dominicalia." 

(Nichols'  Leicestershire,  Vol.  1,  p.  506). 

Upon  invitation  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Company  to 
go  to  New  England,  Francis  Higginson  sailed  from  Grave- 
send,  in  the  Talbot,  Apr.  25, 1629,  and  on  June  29  landed  at 
Salem.  Here  was  founded  the  first^church  in  the  Massa- 
chusetts Bay  Colony,  when,  on  July  20, 1629,  "  the  people 
made  choice  of  Mr.  Skelton  for  their  Pastor  and  Mr.  Hig- 
ginson for  their  Teacher.     And  accordingly  it  was  desired 


FIRST   GENERATION.  3 

of  Mr.  Higginson  to  draw  up  a  confession  of  faith  and 
covenant  in  scripture  language."  This  covenant  was 
signed  the  "  6  of  6th  Month,  1629,"  and  one  year  from 
that  date,  Aug.  6,  1630,  Francis  Higginson  died.  (Mor- 
ton's N.  E.  Mem.  p.  115  ;  White's  N.  E.  Cong.  pp.  2,  13  ; 
Mather's  Magnalia,  Bk.  I,  chap.  4). 

Ann,1  the  widow  of  Francis  Higginson,  was  an  inhabi- 
tant of  Charlestown  in  1631  and  was  living  there  in  1637. 
She  probably  removed  to  New  Haven  with  Theophilus 
Eaton  and  his  company  in  1638,  as  she  was  not  at  Charles- 
town  in  June  of  that  year.  (Wyman's  Charlestown ; 
Charlestown  Land  Records). 

Settlement  of  Mrs.  Higginson's  Estate. 
25th  of  Feb  :  1639. 

Mv5  Higgingson,  late  planter  of  Quillipieck,  dyeing  w*h- 
out  makeing  her  will,  &  leaveing  behinde  her  eight  chil- 
dren, an  inventory  of  her  estate  being  taken,  the  court 
disposed  of  her  estate  and  children  as  followeth  w*h  the 
consent  and  approbation  of  Mr  John  Higginson  her  eldest 
sonne. 

The  said  John  Higginson,  the  charges  of  his  educatio 
considered,  is  onely  to  have  his  fathers  books,  together 
w*h  the  value  of  51  in  bedding  for  his  porco. 

Francis  Higginson  the  second  sonne  and  Tymothy  the 
third  sonne,  their  educatio  allso  considered,  are  to  have 
each  of  them  twenty  pounds  for  their  portions. 

1There  was  a  tradition  that  Ann,  wife  of  Francis  Higginson,  was  a 
sister  of  Gov.  Theophilus  Eaton,  but  Hannah,  sister  of  Gov.  Eaton, 
was  unmarried  when  named  in  her  father's  will  in  1616  (New  Haven 
Hist.  Soc.  Coll.  Vols,  iv,  p.  186;  vii,  p.  5).  She  married  Dec.  5,  1622, 
Joseph  Denman,  in  the  parish  of  St.  Mary  Woolchurch  Haw,  London, 
where  on  Dec.  3,  1622,  Theophilus  Eaton  married  his  first  wife,  Grace 
Hiller.  (Par.  Reg.  St.  Mary  Woolchurch).  The  mention  in  letters 
of  Col.  John  Higginson,  dated  1692  and  1700,  of  "Tho:  Hayler"  and 
"Cozn  Hayler"  suggests  a  relationship  between  the  Hillers  of  the 
parish  of  St.  Mary  Woolchurch  and  Rev.  Francis  Higginson.  (Hig- 
ginson Family  Letters,  MSS.;  Mass.  Hist.  Soc.  Coll.  3d  S.,  vol.  vii, 
p.  219).

25  John7  Higginson  (Stephen?  Stephen*  John,* 
John,3  John,2  Francis'),  born  Jan.  15,  1765,  at  Salem, 
Mass. ;  administration  of  his  estate  was  granted  to  his 
brother  Henry,  May  10,  1820,  when  he  was  called  late  of 
Boston,  merchant,  married  between  Sept.  3,  1796  and  May 
27,  1797,  at  Paris,  France,  Josephine2,  daughter  of   Eti- 

'Grandparents  of  Hon.  Henry  Cabot  Lodge. 

2The  following  is  an  account,  translated  from  the  French,  de- 
scribing the  life  of  Josephine  de  la  Porte  in  her  grandmother's  home. 
Mme.  de  Breget  was  the  sister  of  that  Mme.  de  Monthule,  daughter 
of  the  Farmer-General  Haudry  de  Sucy,  who  occupied  the  chateau 
of  Sainte- Assise  near  the  chateau  of  Seine- Port  which  the  Duke  of 
Orleans,  father  of  Philippe-Egalite,  occupied  during  the  summer. 

•'When  I  saw  this  Aurora  and  Diana,  she  was  merely  rather  a 
forlorn  mortal  who  had  preserved  of  her  divine  attributes  only  a 
charming  voice  and  fine  knowledge  of  the  world. 

"  Mme.  de  Brege"t,  on  the  contrary,  was  very  stately  and  majestic, 
yet  very  simple  and  quite  womanly.  They  lived  together  on  the 
Champs  Elisees,  in  a  charming  house  whose  garden  adjoined  that  of 
the  Hotel  de  Beaujon  and  where  they  had  strolled  about  freely. 
Mme.  de  Bre"get  had  no  family  around  her  except  her  two  young 
grandchildren,  aged  respectively  eighteen  and  twenty  years  of  age. 
One  of  them  was  Alphonse  de  la  Porte,  a  fine  and  charming  young 
fellow  of  good  ideas  and  attractive  ways,  whom  illness  carried  away 
in  his  prime,  a  few  years  later.  The  other,  his  younger  sister  (Jo- 
sephine de  la  Porte)  was  pretty  enough  and  pleasant  enough,  and 
wished  for  a  husband,  but  was  not  married  because  her  grand- 
mother's fortune  was  not  sufficient  to  secure  that,  as  in  many  cases 


SEVENTH   GENERATION.  25 

enne-Francois  comte  de  la  Porte,  chevalier,  seigneur  d' 
Eydoche,  Bocsosel,  et  Marlieu,  regimental  colonel  in  the 
old  Marine,  chevalier  of  the  royal  and  military  order  of  St. 
Louis.     Her   mother  was  Mille.  Herbert,  daughter  of  a 

French  noble,  N de  Breget,  officer  of  the   guard   of 

Monsieur,  the  brother  of  Louis  XVI. 

He  married  2nd,  Elizabeth . 

John  Higginson  was  appointed  ensign  Nov.  30,  1786, 
and  was  a  recruiting  officer  during  Shays'  Rebellion. 
(Pynchon's  Diary).  In  1792  he  went  to  Paris,  as  appears 
in  a  letter  dated  Sept.  3,  1796,  from  his  father,  Stephen 
Higginson,  to  Timothy  Pickering,  then  Secretary  of  State, 
in  which  he  offers  his  son  John,  as  a  candidate  for  the 
office  of  U.  S.  Consul.  The  letter  says :  "  He  has  been 
settled  in  Paris  four  years,  is  master  of  the  language,  has 
an  extensive  acquaintance  among  those  in  administration 
of  the  French  government  and  has  much  influence  with 
them.  This  information  I  have  from  Americans  who  have 
been  there  and  have  derived  much  benefit  from  his  agency 
with  the  executive  committees,  &c.  He  has  acquired  there 
a  good  property  and  has  now  many  important  claims  upon 
the  French  government  for  me  and  others,  which  he  will 
remain  to  pursue.  ...  I  should  be  glad  to  have  him  ap- 
pointed if  there  be  a  vacancy,  as  I  suppose,  and  no  fitter 
person  appears  to  take  it." 

happens.  The  poor  girl  ended  by  being  bestowed,  with  her  full  con- 
sent, upon  a  kind  of  rich  American  savage,  Higginson,  who  dropped 
her  after  a  while  before  or  after  some  great  folly  that  she  had  com. 
mitted  and  with  scandal  for  she  was  very  foolish,  which  at  last  ex- 
pelled her  from  good  society. 

"  Mme.  de  Breget  fulfilled  with  pleasure  those  duties  as  grand- 
mother which  called  upon  her  for  balls  and  entertainments.  These 
gatherings  were  charming.  On  the  days  when  they  did  not  dance, 
the  guests  played  games  in  a  large  hall  and  the  young  people  gath- 
ered in  a  smaller  one.  This  brought  glory  to  me  because  the  fertility 
of  my  genius  caused  me  to  be  elected  the  leader  of  the  group.  Me"zy 
had  some  merit  and  they  owed  to  him  '  the  Discovery  of  the  Lost 
Rabbit,1  but  he  was  quite  subordinate  to  me."  (Souvenirs  du  Baron 
de  Frenilly,  Pair  de  France  (1768-1828),  publies  avec  introduction  et 
notes  par  Arthur  Chuquet,  Membre  de  l'lnstitut,  Paris,  1909,  p.  208). 


26  DESCENDANTS   OF    FRANCIS   HIGGINSON. 

In  a  second  letter,  May  27,  1797,  Stephen  Higginson 
writes  "  but  I  have  late  information  from  France  of  his 
[John]  being  there  married  and  under  such  circumstances 
as  render  his  abode  there  very  probable,  which  may  and 
perhaps  ought  to  be  an  objection  to  his  being  in  any  office 
under  this  government.  Though  I  shall  still  have  perfect 
confidence  in  him,  persuaded  that  I  know  fully  his  prin- 
ciples and  feelings,  it  is  not  to  be  expected  that  others 
without  the  same  evidence  can  have  the  same  convictions.*' 
(Pickering  MSS.  Vols.  V,  p.  225  ;  XXI,  p.  183). 

In  1810,  John  Higginson  accompanied  his  sister,  Susan 
Cleveland  Channing  and  her  husband  on  their  voyage  to 
Rio  Janeiro  and  from  there  sailed  for  the  Cape  of  Good 
Hope.  (Life  of  William  Henry  Channing,  pp.  31,  39).
